Abstract: Time-varying cloud workloads often cause resource under-utilization during off-peak periods and resource contention during peak periods. Existing prediction-then-optimization (PTO) frameworks suffer from two-stage decoupling, hindering the balance among violation rate, user satisfaction, and resource utilization. We formulate heterogeneous job scheduling as a multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem (MOCOP) under uncertain constraints and propose a closed-loop decision-focused learning (CL-DFL) framework for cloud orchestration. CL-DFL integrates a Multivariate Time-series Graph Neural Network (MTGNN)-based spatio-temporal predictor with a zeroth-order decision-focused learning (DFL) mechanism based on the tree-structured Parzen estimator (TPE). This integration establishes an end-to-end (E2E) feedback pathway between resource perception and scheduling decisions. Furthermore, we develop the GNeuro-PLS strategy by incorporating group relative policy optimization (GRPO) into cooperative local search to improve robustness under heterogeneous workloads. Extensive experiments on four real-world datasets demonstrate that CL-DFL achieves superior trade-offs among violation rate, user satisfaction, and resource utilization. It effectively controls overload risks under regular workloads and maintains resilience under highly saturated scenarios compared with state-of-the-art baselines.
